<< The statistical probablities also cannot be ignored, IMO. I forget the
numbers, but recall that there are something like 10 to the 28th stars per
galaxy and approx. 10 to the 18th galaxies in the universe. Assuming the
science of astronomy is remotely accurate (and that IS a big assumption) our
sun would not even show up on a stellar map.
The probability of us being alone in the universe is small. The
probability of temperate climates conducive to organic development similar to
ours is high. Even so, who says life has to be organic as we know it? We
are based on carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen. Who says intelligent
life cannot be structured differently? >>
Nothing says that life has to be "as we know of it", or "like us". When
people talk about statistical probability it makes the case that such MUST be
so, but that is erroneous. Just because the Universe is X big and has Y
planets does NOT mean that there MUST be other life out there. It is a
numbers game.
